Pros and Cons: PTAB vs. District CourtsPatexia Inc.
PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) or district court? Where should I bring my patent validity challenge? Hundreds of lawyers and their clients decide every year that the PTAB is their first choice of venue to invalidate a patent. Described as a “death squad,” the PTAB does indeed offer a number of advantages over a traditional invalidity defense in court. The claim interpretation is broader; the evidentiary standard is lower; the PTAB judges are technically trained and understand very well what is legally obvious; PTAB trials are fast and less expensive than traditional court litigation; and district courts are often happy to stay a patent case pending a PTAB trial. It is not surprising that so many opt to have their patent validity challenges decided by the PTAB rather than a lay jury in eastern Texas. Yet, behind the allure of an easy, quick, cheap victory at the PTAB are serious risks for the unwary, and the PTAB is not the best venue for all validity challenges. This webinar will discuss in detail the various pros and cons of the PTAB as an alternative (and sometimes an adjunct) to district court for patent validity challenges.
In this month's episode, we’re talking about the use of government grants and the strings that can come attached to your IP! We’re exploring the various types of small business research grants, how the Bayh-Dole Act regulates inventions generated under government grants, licensing and ownership implications for your patent when using federal dollars, and the sticky webs that you may find yourself in if you are not carefully tracking IP and adhering to the numerous provisions and timelines.
Dr. Ashley Sloat, President and Director of Patent Strategy here at Aurora, leads the discussion along with our all-star patent panel, exploring:
⦿ How the Bye-Dole Act of 1980 regulates inventions under government grants
⦿ As a small business, what types of grants are available to you and whether or not they can cover IP-related costs
⦿ The rights of the federal government to your Invention when you use grant money
⦿ Implications for using subcontractors to perform the work under the grant
⦿ And of course, some of the biggest gotcha’s and practical tips for avoiding them
Ashley is also joined today by our always exceptional group of IP experts including:
⦿ Kristen Hansen, Patent Strategy Specialist at Aurora
⦿ Dr. David Jackrel, President of Jackrel Consulting
⦿ Ty Davis, Patent Strategy Associate at Aurora

As a startup team, you create something—whether it’s software, a domain name, business logistics or a reputation—that falls within a class protected by the law. Some classes are protected automatically. Others require going through a registration, application or examination process. Fenwick lawyers Stephen Gillespie and Christopher Joslyn discuss what intellectual property is, why it is important and hot-button issues startups commonly face.
This version updates the discussion of Inter Partes Review (IPRs) at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), improves some slides for clarity, and fixes some nits and typos.
The patent environment is constantly changing because of new laws, regulations, and court decisions. This updated presentation explains why most US patents are not worth much. The presentation takes into account recent changes while clarifying some of the major challenges in creating a valuable patent portfolio. The presentation goes on to outline the best practices that will often, but not always, overcome many potential roadblocks and impediments to creating patent value. This presentation is directed towards startups, inventors, investors, innovators, and C-level executives.
After explaining the difficulties of building a strong patent portfolio, Best Practices are discussed in some detail:
Some Assumptions Underlying Best Practices

THE NUTS & BOLTS OF BANKRUPTCY LAW 2022: The Nuts & Bolts of a First Day HearingFinancial Poise
Even when a bankruptcy petition is the result of a soft-landing rather than a freefall, filing a chapter 11 petition is a disruptive event. To facilitate the debtor’s entry into chapter 11 with as little disruption as possible, first day motions are filed to ensure that a debtor-in-possession can minimize interruptions and continue operating its business in order to achieve its goals in chapter 11. This webinar provides an overview of the administrative and operational first day motions typically filed by chapter 11 debtors and the process for requesting a first day hearing, providing notice of the hearing, and ensuring that the hearing runs smoothly.

RESTRUCTURING, INSOLVENCY & TROUBLED COMPANIES 2022: Bad Debtor Owes Me Money!Financial Poise
Sometimes it begins when a client, tenant, or customer starts to slow-pay, with the result that your accounts receivable start to accrue gradually. Other times the issue presents itself more suddenly. Either way, you find your company owed a great deal of money that looks like it may not be collected because your client/tenant/customer has filed bankruptcy, has commenced an assignment for the benefit of creditors, has been put into receivership, or is otherwise just plain insolvent. What do you do? What should you not do? The topics discussed in this webinar include the pros and cons of putting a counterparty into involuntary bankruptcy; when and how you may be able to pursue third parties (like guarantors, directors, or officers) for the amount owed; risks related to preference attack; pros and cons of sitting on a “creditors’ committee” in a Chapter 11; how to negotiate for “critical vendor” protection in Chapter 11; and practical guidance for continuing to provide goods or services to an insolvent counterparty.

We’ve all long heard about writing practices to avoid, including run-on sentences, excessive passive voice, and nominalization. This webinar not only discusses how those habits can damage briefs, but also explores a key habit brief-writers should embrace: using strong, precise verbs, which are the engine of a persuasive sentence. Panelists also exchange views about finding the most persuasive voice and tone, as well as the right temperature for rhetoric.

However, now you must call up your incident response team to investigate the extent of the breach, evaluate the possible damage to your company, and determine whether you must notify your clients, customers, or the public of the breach.

BUSINESS LAW REVIEW- 2022: Immigration Law for Business-101Financial Poise
A basic understanding of immigration law is critical to a vast array of businesses operating in today’s economy. Foreign employees and their sponsoring companies will navigate a complex maze in the attempt to achieve the desired goals of the employee maximizing their ability to provide services and value to the company. One of various determining factors as to which pathway to attempt is whether the goal is an immigrant visa (also known as a “green card”) which may ultimately allow lawful permanent residence in the United States or a non-immigrant visa. The need for foreign labor affects various industries and applies to large segments of skilled, unskilled and semi-skilled workers in jobs ranging from farm to seasonal to high-tech. This webinar explains what businesses need to know in the current environment as well as how political and globalization issues will affect immigration laws going forward.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has been entrusted with a significant corporate compliance regulatory function, which has been expanded by seminal legislation in the recent past such as the Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX”) and Dodd-Frank Acts. This webinar discusses board fiduciary duties and the tension between state corporate law standards and federal law. Board composition, independence, structure and processes (including best practices in regard to committees) are analyzed. Specifically, director independence is discussed as is audit committees and related requirements, regulations and exemptions. NASDAQ and the NYSE also have similar requirements for director independence and those are also discussed. The webinar also covers disclosure matters related to SOX compliance, including timing and content of an issuer's periodic disclosures. Both the legal requirements and best practices related to disclosure procedures and internal controls under SOX are examined. Means of controlling the costs of SOX, especially for smaller public companies, are also discussed, including trends in the industry related to high regulatory compliance costs. Finally, the applicability and best practices for privately held companies and SOX are considered.

The deal is complete, and the parties have finished the hard work. Or have they? Integration planning turns to execution as people, process, and technology are combined once the deal is legally closed. The buyer will need to consider the purchased business or assets from the standpoint of employees, IT, customers, suppliers, and a multitude of other areas. In addition, numerous post-closing legal issues may arise, including purchase price adjustments, breaches of representations and warranties, enforcement of key negative employment-related covenants and restrictive covenants, collection of pre-closing accounts receivable, and true-ups of final financials. This episode guides listeners through the process, timing, and issues which most commonly arise after the closing of deals.

Although every deal is different, understanding any purchase/sale agreement will help you understand other purchase sale agreements. Stated another way, most M&A documents include a similar set of sections and use a similar vocabulary. This episode explains specific, common provisions and discusses how buyers and sellers approach these provisions differently, particularly in light of situational differences (e.g. whether the assets being bought and sold are equity of a company or the assets of a company; whether the seller is going to cease to exists or not). Topics covered will include tax issues; corporate governance; closing conditions; representations and warranties; indemnification provisions; earn-outs; restrictive covenants; antitrust; intellectual property; and employment issues.

Buying, selling, or merging a company typically follows a similar set of steps from deal to deal. The amount of time each step takes varies but the order of the steps is fairly uniform because the steps follow a certain logic: before the parties share meaningful information, they should sign a confidentiality agreement (a/k/a “non-disclosure agreement,” or “NDA”); once a baseline amount of information is known by the would-be buyer, it commonly presents a letter of intent or term sheet to the target or its owner, which serves as an outline for a deal but does not necessarily bind the parties to consummate the transaction; additional due diligence and the negotiation, drafting and signing of definitive documents comes next. The parties then obtain any needed regulatory and/or contractual third party approvals; followed by closing; and finally by post-closing tasks. This webinar will discuss all these steps from a macro perspective so that you can see the forest for the trees, but does not do a deep dive into any single topic. Think of this webinar as a road map or timeline for a typical deal.

CROWDFUNDING 2022 - Crowdfunding from the Investor's PerspectiveFinancial Poise
This webinar focuses on the opportunities that crowdfunding makes available to the investor, and how the investor should go about navigating this new world. We begin with a basic overview of the new regulatory regime, the requirements to invest, and the on-boarding process one should expect. We then dive deeper into the market opportunity, including how to access and select investments, and expectations investors should set for themselves and the projects they select. This is not intended to support any specific deal selection, but instead sheds a light upon the basic selection criteria available, the method to go about investing and what to avoid.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

12. Overview of Proceedings
• Post-grant proceedings for challenging patent validity
Inter Partes Review (IPR)
Covered Business Method Review (CBMR)
Post-Grant Review (PGR)
Derivation
• “Trials” before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”)
• Allow for limited discovery, not previously available
Not “trials” in U.S. district court sense: no live witnesses (with rare exception), no jury,
no opening statements, no closing arguments
12
13. Overview of the PTAB
• Handles AIA post-grant proceedings, appeals, and derivations
• Staffed by Administrative Patent Judges (“APJ”)
Employs roughly 280 APJs currently and actively hiring
New hires come from USPTO Examining Corps and private bar
• Each AIA proceeding is decided by a 3-member APJ panel
Expanded panel may be convened by the PTAB itself
Under just-revised SOP1, parties may “suggest” expanded panel or request review by
the Precedential Opinion Panel (POP)
13
14. Overview of PTAB Trials
• Proceedings are initiated with a petition
• Parties may file reply papers
• Parties engage in very limited discovery
• Hearing is conducted on the merits
• Concluded with final written decision unless parties settle
14
16. Overview of Advantages
• “Preponderance” v. “clear and convincing”
• Favorable Petitioner success rate
• Potential to stay co-pending district court litigation
• Lower cost than district court litigation and trial
• Quicker to initial resolution than district court litigation
16
17. Overview of Disadvantages
• Estoppel
• Limited opportunity to develop record
• Very limited opportunity to present true testimony
• Patent Owner has the opportunity to amend claims
17
18. Stays of Litigation
• Patent involved in Patent Owner v. Petitioner litigation: 82%
• Granting motion to stay litigation pending PTAB decision
IPR: 65%
CBMR: 62%
18
19. Stays of Litigation
• Federal Circuit has considered district courts denying a stay
o VirtualAgility Inc. v. SalesForce.com, Inc., 2014 WL 3360806 (Fed. Cir.
July 10, 2014)
o Versata Software, Inc. v. Callidus Software, Inc., 2014-1468 (Fed. Cir.
Nov. 20, 2014)
o Intellectual Ventures II, LLC v. JPMorgan Chase, 2014-1724 (Fed. Cir.
Apr. 1, 2015)
• Stay decisions in district court vary significantly by jurisdiction
19
20. DJ Actions
• If Petitioner files DJ of invalidity first, no IPR or CBMR
o 35 U.S.C. § 315(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. 42.101(a);
o http://www.uspto.gov/blog/director/entry/ptab_s_quick_fixes_for
• Consider filing DJ of noninfringement; assert invalidity as defense to responsive claim for
infringement
Affirmative defense of invalidity to a counterclaim of infringement plead by Patent
Owner does not deprive Petitioner of standing
o E.g., IPR2012-00022, Paper 20 (Feb. 12, 2013); CBM2014-00035,
Paper 12 (Apr. 25, 2014)
20
21. Estoppel
• IPR/PGR:
At the PTO/Court/ITC: Cannot maintain another proceeding on a basis Petitioner
“raised or reasonably could have raised”
o PGR: 35 U.S.C. § 325(e); IPR: 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)
• CBMR:
At the PTO: Cannot maintain another PTO proceeding on a basis Petitioner “raised or
reasonably could have raised”
o 35 U.S.C. § 325(e)(1); 37 C.F.R. 42.73(d)
At Court/ITC: Cannot maintain another proceeding on a basis Petitioner actually
raised
o PL 112-29, Sec. 18(a)(1)(D) (Sept. 16, 2011)
21
22. Impact
• Should inform district court of IPR proceedings
o Va. Innovation Scis., Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. Co., Ltd., 2:12-cv-548
(EDVA May 2, 2014) (must inform court of IPR proceeding or face
“sharp[] consequences”)

o VAE Nortrak N. Am. v. Progress Rail Serv. Corp., 459 F. Supp. 2d 1142
(N.D. Alabama Oct. 25, 2006) (granting defendant’s MSJ on DEO based
on statements made during foreign prosecution)
24
25. Other Considerations (Petitioner)
• Timing considerations
File right away? File after contentions in court?
• Audience considerations
Invalidity arguments more judge/jury friendly?
• Multi-patent considerations
Challenge all or subset of asserted patents/claims?
25
26. Other Considerations (Patent Owner)
